Hi everyone! Sheet masks have been quite popular in Asian countries as a part of regular skincare regime. Sadly however, we didn’t have them in the Indian market until of late Nykaa happened to launch Innisfree. But it was always available on Amazon and came quite pricey.

Innisfree is a big name in Korean beauty and has some really good natural skincare products up their sleeve. It is also South Korea’s first all-natural brand. It also claims to pursue an eco-friendly green life to preserve the balance of nature. In Innisfree’s own words :

Innisfree, the pure island where clean nature and healthy beauty coexist in harmony Innisfree’s eco-friendly green life to preserve the balance of nature.

Innisfree has three lines of sheet masks namely It’s Real, Skin Clinic and Second Skin. Today’s post is about the Tea Tree sheet mask from It’s Real Squeeze Mask range. This particular range is enriched with “freshly squeezed juice of plants obtained through a process of harvesting,extraction, refinement“.

My Overview of the Product :

I had recently been suffering from some breakouts in my forehead region. Given the goodness that tea tree has in curing acne-related problems, I decided to give the Innisfree Tea Tree Mask a try. The sheet mask comes folded neatly in a sleek white sachet with a pictorial representation of tea tree on its front. The white and green packaging itself had a soothing effect on my mind. You see, visuals mean a lot to me. 🙂

The mask consists of a “triple layered sheet” and comes drenched with the serum. I think the layers within the sheet help to retain moisture in the mask and impart the same to the skin. Although I was super careful on unfolding it to place on my face, it was really easy. The sheet mask claims to be of standard size with eye and mouth openings, but I have a round face and it couldn’t cover me all the way up to the ears. There’s this flap thing on its nose as well. But the sheet mask sits quite comfortably on the face. As instructed, I put on the mask after cleansing and toning. It has a sharp herbaceous fragrance but I got accustomed to that in a matter of 3-4 minutes.

The immediate effect of placing the Innisfree Tea Tree mask on my face was a cooling sensation and felt so relaxing and soothing. Innisfree recommends to keep the sheet mask on for 10-20 minutes, but I kept it all along for a whole forty minutes! It was only then that the mask started coming off from the ends implying that it had started drying. When I took it off, the mask had lost most of its liquid and felt so light and dry, contrary to when I had opened it. This is evident now that my skin had drank up the moisture from this and felt very hydrated. After discarding the mask, I gently massaged my skin for further absorption of the leftover serum and by this time, my face was looking outright radiant and feeling fresh. 🙂

I was pleasantly surprised to notice that the Innisfree Tea Tree Sheet Mask had actually soothed my breakouts and made my face look comparatively clearer. No, the breakouts hadn’t completely vanished, but then the mask definitely diminished their appearance and I had used it just once. The best part, it didn’t further irritate them! That’s a big plus for me because I tend to have a sensitive skin. It even treated a miniscule dry patch on my cheek that had almost just started to bother me. 🙂 My face looked dewy and the skin felt plump and nourished. I washed my face only after 10 hours as my oily combination skin felt adequately moisturized after using this mask.

Some more about the ingredients :

Innisfree mentions the following ingredient list on its website in the Tea Tree Mask-

Aloe Vera extracts, Castor oil and Glycerin are all extremely popular for their hydrating and moisturizing properties for the skin.

Phew! That was one exhaustive list of ingredients. But I’m very impressed with Innisfree’s endeavor to infuse as many skin goodies as these into one sheet mask!

The Final Verdict :

I was initially a bit apprehensive to try out the sheet mask given the amount of liquid it comes soaked in, but it was winter and my skin was feeling a little dehydrated, so I was tempted to try. Glad I did. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the performance of the Innisfree Tea Tree Mask. It definitely made my skin look clearer and brighter. It didn’t irritate my sensitive skin and nurtured it with oodles of moisture and the much needed hydration. The mask even imparted a mild dewy effect to my face that’s indicative of healthy skin. 😉 However the effect lasted me for around 5 days, but that’s a good deal at just 100 bucks! The Innisfree Tea Tree Mask doesn’t claim tall but does just what it says. I would definitely use it again, and planning to try out its other variants as well!

My Rating : 4.75/5
